I agree.

Here's hoping for Geno.

I hope we know the full story behind Cloud soon. There are rumors that it was Sakurai idea and there is other rumors that Square Enix wanted Cloud in the game.

the japanese poll had him as one of the highest.
that's pretty much one of the main reasons he's in.

The December event has me hopeful we get Wonder-Red.

Does 17th place really count as "One of the highest?"

We NEED Terry Bogard.

I don't see Banjo being any more likely. A Microsoft employee stating he'd like to see it happen isn't the same as having MS backing and there's no way they'd allow it without getting something major out of it themselves.

Maybe if they were making a new game for the Xbox One and thought it would help push sales?

I'll be pretty disappointed if the majority of characters from here on are third party, but Cloud is a pretty decent one as far as they go. He's from a very iconic franchise and he's easily the most well known character from it to boot. Seems pretty fun to play as, so yeah. At least it isn't more Fire Emblem characters.

Fatal Fury, not KoF
Kyo is the Ryu of that game.

Eh. Terry is still the more recognizable name of either franchise.
